The citizens of Lynwood held a march from Firebaugh High School to City Hall protesting the proposed Lynwood Promenade and NFL Football Stadium. I participated with about 200 of my neighbors. The crowd at City Hall was estimated at 2,500.
Fox News was on the scene. The first English speaking television media. (Channels 34 and 22 have reported.) The report made us out to be stupid and uninformed. You can watch the clip.
Much to do about nothing, Ms. Devine?
What Fox News failed to say in the report is that developer John McDonald has presented plans to the City and has been granted an exclusive negotiating agreement. Fox News also failed to report that the proposal has complete drawings from PGAL - Pierce Goodwin Alexander and Linville an architecture firm. The copies of the drawings were passed out to the community attending a meeting held by the developer on November 1st.
This protest was covered most truthfully by Marisela Santana a staff writer for the Wave Newspaper Group. Please read the article. Thanks to Marisela for a more fair and accurate report.
